I am looking into making a new sub system in my jeep. I was wondering if I would be able to mount 2 shallow mount 12s on the tailgate? I know 2 10s works, I measured and see there being enough room width and height wise. Just wanted to know if it was possible.

On the tailgate? As in the door that swings open? I'm sure you can rig something up but it would take a lot of dynamat to keep the vibrations down.but my main question is why? I have a factory subwoofer and it has some kick to it but with the top down or off it is useless.

if you dont mind loosing the room under your back seats you can make a box for 2 shallow mount 10"s facing down. I have seen and heard them before and sounds great. or can mount under front seats as well

Or put two 10s under your seats (back or front) and take up no room and will outperform the shallow 12s. At least I know 10s under the front seats will outperform shallow 12s in the back. I've been doing it for 3 years.

See that is what I want to do. I have seen the threads but I don't have the know how to build myself. Also the pre-made boxes from people I have looked into are way out of my price range.

The solution does not have to be JK specific. Here is what a quick search netted me on eBay. Enter the SOUNDSTREAM USB-8A into a search and you will see what I mean. This unit sells for $110. It's an eight inch sub with a built in amp. You could run two of these. One on each side. Find a shop in your area that would be willing to install gear that you provide. You may be pleasantly surprised. For every dollar amount there is a solution. If you were local, I would help you out for some beers or a trade. I'm sure there are guys like me in your area. Hop on some stereo forums in your area. I would love to throw two of these in a jeep and hear what they sound like. Just do some homework. Go talk to some people in your area. Most car audio guys are itching to try something new. SOUNDSTREAM USB-8A
